Now — Spotlights aim down on Taylor as she walks to the T-shaped stage wearing a dramatic glittery blue gown, featuring ruffles in the front. An acoustic guitar leans against a piano painted with flowers. She picks up the guitar and slides the strap around her neck

Wearing a joyful expression, she steps over to a microphone on a stand

"Singapore, to the acoustic section!" Taylor said as the audience cheers "This is a part of the show where I play a song on guitar, a song on piano and I'm always trying to do different things in performances that I haven't done in any other show. So, I have been really trying to get creative with it lately, and, um..." She strums the guitar

"I kinda thought, since this is the last show for a while, this is the end of the leg of this tour and we've had such a wonderful time, I've been a bit nostalgic. So... I thought, maybe I should go back to the beginning." Taylor said as the crowd cheers

Part 1 - Tim McGraw

He said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said, "That's a lie"
Just a boy in a Chevy truck
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck
On backroads at night

And I was right there beside him all summer long
And then the time we woke up to find that summer gone

But when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my hеad on your chest
And my old faded blue jеans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me

The audience cheers as Taylor strums her guitar

Part 2 - cowboy like me

And the tennis court was covered up
With some tent-like thing
And you asked me to dance
But I said, "Dancin' is a dangerous game"
Oh, I thought
This is gonna be one of those things
Now I know
I'm never gonna love again

I've got some tricks up my sleeve
Takes one to know one
You're a cowboy like me

Never wanted love
Just a fancy car
Now I'm waiting by the phone
Like I'm sitting in an airport bar

You had some tricks up your sleeve
Takes one to know one
You're a cowboy like me

Perched in the dark
Tellin' all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
Like it could be love
I could be the way forward
Only if they pay for it
You're a bandit like me
Eyes full of stars
Hustling for the good life, never thought I'd meet you here
It could be love
We could be the way forward
And I know I'll pay for it

And I'm back for the first time since then
I'm standin' on your street
And there's a letter left on your doorstep
And the first thing that you'll read

Is, "When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
Someday you'll turn your radio on
I hope it takes you back to that place"
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me

You're a cowboy like me, mmm
He said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said, "That's a lie"

She beams at the crowd, soaking up the applause, removing the guitar, she sets it down on a stand and takes a seat at the small upright spin at style piano. She reaches back, gathering her long strands of hair and shifting them to hang in front of one shoulder

Part 1 - mirrorball

I want you to know
I'm a mirrorball
I'll show you every version of yourself tonight
I'll get you out on the floor
Shimmering beautiful
And when I break, it's in a million pieces

Hush, when no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you
Hush, I know they said the end is near
But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you

Part 2 - epiphany

Something med school did not cover
Someone's daughter, someone's mother
Holds your hand through plastic now
"Doc, I think she's crashing out"
And some things you just can't speak about

With you I serve, with you I fall down, down
Watch you brеathe in, watch you breathing out, out
With you I servе, with you I fall down, down
Watch you breathe in, watch you breathing out, out

Only twenty minutes to sleep
But you dream of some epiphany
Just one single glimpse of relief
To make some sense of what you've seen
Just have twenty minutes to sleep
But you dream of some epiphany
Just one single glimpse of relief
To make sense of what you've seen, make sense of what you've seen
And they called off the circus, burned the disco down
When they sent home the horses and the rodeo clowns
I'm still on that tightrope
I'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me
And I'm still a believer, but I don't know why
I've never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try
I'm still on that trapeze
I'm still trying everything to keep you looking at me

Because I'm a mirrorball
I'm a mirrorball
And I'll show you every version of yourself tonight

The audience cheers, Taylor rises from the piano bench and pulling her hair back, blows a kiss toward the audience. Raising both arms, she uses them to carve out a shape of a heart in the air then she bows gracefully

The floor panels of the stage show a flood of water rushing away from Taylor down the catwalk, and over the diamond stage. She dives directly into it, disappearing down a trap door

Her dark shape can be seen swimming along as if she's inside the floor of the catwalk and the diamond stage. Moving through the area, like someone gliding below the rippling waters of the ocean
